Changing Food Habits - Case Studies from Africa, South America and Europe (Hardcover)

Fascinating case studies, the majority of which are based on original field work, are presented in this second volume of the "Food in History and Culture" book series. "Changing Food Habits" examines the integral connection between food and ongoing ecological, economic, political, and social transformations. This text also provides research on dietary changes resulting from direct interventions by individuals and food programs.
Among the topics discussed, authors consider rural and urban modes of food consumption, dietary changes in different societal contexts, and food-based rituals. Cases presented in this volume suggest alternative readings of some established models of changing food habits, and contribute to a more comprehensive history of dietary transformations.
